Summer television was once dominated by reality competitions and repeats, but that is no longer the case. This year, we have more than enough to look forward to thanks to streaming services and cable networks.
CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox and The CW are not completely shut out of the summer game though. The broadcast networks have held back plenty of content to keep their schedules jam-packed. It might look nice outside, but they want you sitting in front of the TV screen and they have plenty of reasons to keep you inside.

Over at ABC, Bachelor Nation has The Bachelorette. CBS will keep its audiences busy with more episodes of Code Black, while NBC brought back America’s Got Talent to pick up where The Voice left off. Fox has more Gordon Ramsay action, and The CW has the laughs with Who’s Line Is It Anyway?.
Meanwhile, Netflix, Hulu and Amazon have new shows coming out this summer.
Here are ALL the dates from May to August that you need to mark on your calendars. All times are in Eastern Time, except where noted.
